Mornings at the Cabin

Yellowknife Scouts Christmas trees go on sale tomorrow! Which means there will probably be a shortage by the weekend! And it's time to practice your panic routine, as a scheduled GNWT Test Alert is set to go this morning!

Wheeler was catching up on his Trump e-blast messages (that somehow wound up in his junk folder??) yesterday and shared the Donald's latest call to action! And have you pre-ordered your Tesla Cybertruck yet? Not us. Too many sharp corners.

Wheeler, Ollie and Lekter try to keep up with the ever-changing programming of CBC North! Dead North Festival filmmaker registrations begin today (and the promo poster is DEADLY) and a new entry for the Cabin Radio Christmas Music Panel!

Local filmmaker Andrew Silke is looking for extras to audition as "angry protesters" in his upcoming dystopian film, "Unearth"...Wheeler ponders reprising his role as Bear Lord for the audition.

Things are happening at CBC North. People are angry. So without knowing precisely what's going on...Wheeler, Ollie and Lekter give it their best shot in figuring it out! Also, Kodiak needs to hitch a ride to his new home. Can ya do him a solid?!

The Cabin Radio Christmas Music Panel has begun! First up: Doctor Coconut - "Silly Merry Christmas"...is it silly enough for you? Also, wanna buy a used Air Terminal? Asking for a government...

Totally Arctic Wrestling's first ever event - TAW: Proving Ground! - happens this weekend in Inuvik, and Wheeler and Lekter welcomed co-founder Dez Loreen (aka "The Eskimofo") back to the Cabin to chat about it (his previous indefinite suspension from MATC appearances, having just ended). And Dave Zethof, City of Yellowknife Special Events Coordinator joined us this morning to talk about the all-o...

We've had our first meeting with the board of dark and shadowy figures at Rogers Sportsnet ahead of February's Hockey Day in Canada plans! And Don Cherry only (accidentally) came up once! Also, the Far North Film Festival kicks off tomorrow and Yellowknife, and Pat Kane and Amanda Annand dropped by the Cabin this morning to chat about it!

Wheeler and Lekter chat about the station that set the tone for commercial radio in Yellowknife, CJCD, as it celebrates 40 years of broadcasting! Also, dogs.

A thing happened over the weekend involving the names "Roger" and "Don". Did you hear about it??? Also, the City of Yellowknife's conversation regarding Air B & B regulation has returned from the ashes!

One of Santa's best buddies of the north was honoured yesterday for his 50 years of service spreading Christmas cheer during Yellowknife's annual Santa Claus parade! And has it been too long since your last Lion King sing-a-long sesh? Well, Hakuna Matata! NACC has you covered!

What's YOUR death plan?! Are you willing to share your space? Cuz it's getting awfully crowded! Also, it's flu season. Have you got your flu shot yet? Listen to find out where and when you can! Oh, and it's FREE.

The 2019 Yellowknife International Film Festival kicked off in Dettah last night with a screening of the highly anticipated, "Red Snow"...as well as Ollie's new highly anticipated jacket, "Red Sequin."

Wheeler and Lekter discuss some of the strange Google ads that have been appearing on cabinradio.ca recently. AJ's Lekter costume this Halloween was good...but was it TOO good? And new friend of the Cabin, Bridget Rusk, locks herself out of her own office.

Things got a little wild this past Friday night, as Ollie Williams celebrated his 35th year of existence on this earth...at least, they might've, had a city-wide blackout in the middle of the evening not occurred. ALSO, day of 4 of Movember...and Wheeler's soup strainer is...greasy.

Cabin Radio's Halloween night in Yellowknife coverage was another huge success...except for that one kid. And AJ ordered a trophy on Amazon for the Cabin Radio Christmas party later this month...a paper trophy. For $26. Simply stunning.

Wheeler and Lekter exchange a few spoooooky ghost stories, Ollie dresses as a cat, Sarah dresses as Elon Muskox, and Quebec finds a way to ruin all the fun. Again.

A million-dollar lotto ticket goes unclaimed in the NWT and is now FINISHED. Which begs the question, if YOU didn't win a million dollars on the lottery, what would you NOT do with it? And the Great Recurring Pumpkin Shortage Around Halloween has gripped Yellowknife again!

Lekter receives an impromptu lesson on what to do in a bear encounter (other than play dead. Everyone knows that they won't hurt ya if they think you're dead!). And on that note, just in time for YOUR next bear encounter...the NWT finally gets 911 service next week!

With Halloween still to come this Thursday, Wheeler, Ollie and Lekter are feeling like they may have burnt themselves out before the big day. Guess the kids will have to take it from here. And AJ enjoyed his first Rocky Horror Picture Show screening at NACC over the weekend! BUT...did he throw any toast??!?!

The new Premier of the NWT has been announced! Her cabinet has been picked! And now the hard work begins...slightly ironic or totally appropriate week for cannabis infused edibles to become legal? We can't decide.

Deputy MLA of Yellowknife, Jesse Wheeler, begins filling out his deputy cabinet this morning live on the air. And Sarah Erasmus of 100 Women Who Give A Damn drops by the Cabin to announce their newest local charity contribution winners!

Two days post-feddy, everyone has had some time to process, and everyone is miserable. BUT what's important is that we're all miserable TOGETHER.

With no Ollie in the room, Wheeler and Lekter process the results of the 2019 Canadian Federal Election like a poorly-functioning kitchen appliance. A food processor, to be exact. Plus, Lekter has a bone to pick with (supposed) friend of the Cabin and resident new person to Yellowknife, Bridget Rusk! And TWO surprise reveals this morning! One for the winner of our Scuba Diving lessons contest with...

Federal Election day! No kids allowed! But should they be? Plus, a wrap and farewell for this year's edition of 'Boolesque' and AJ went scuba diving this past weekend! Wanna go with him?
